sociology. He provides an engaging and critical introduction to the
concepts and issues surrounding the sociology of health and
illness. Both neophytes and seasoned students will benefit greatly
from the rich discussions presented here."Peter Conrad,

"Health and Illness is a stimulating introduction to the
field. It covers the topics that matter most today and raises
important questions about how we will view health and illness in
the future in response to advances in technology and the growing
medical surveillance of the individual."
